use the TPC-H benchmark to assess Redshift, Redshift Spectrum, Athena, Presto, Hive, and Vertica to find out what works best and the trade-offs involved. The experimental results focus on six main areas of comparison: query restrictions system initialisation time query performance cost data compatibility with other systems scalability.

In this comparison of Redis vs Memcached, we strip away the complexity, focusing on each in-memory data store’s performance, scalability, and unique features. Performance Comparison: Redis vs Memcached Although Redis and Memcached are high-performance in-memory data stores, their performance characteristics are distinct.

TTFB gives you insights into where the backend server is slow (meaning you may have unoptimized backend code or an unoptimized database), and whether your site is geographically distributed so it can promptly respond to a global audience. Why track it? Total Content Size. Total Content Size is as simple and straightforward as you might think.

A Dedicated Log Volume (DLV) is a specialized storage volume designed to house database transaction logs separately from the volume containing the database tables.

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking.

In short, each cluster is, in reality, a single database with high availability and other functionalities built in. About that, we must always remember the concept that each K8s/Operator cluster needs to be seen as a single service, not as a real cluster. Anyhow, we are here to talk about Proxies.

It’s less of an apples-to-oranges comparison and more like apples-to-orange-sherbet. Why RPC is “faster” It’s tempting to simply write a micro-benchmark test where we issue 1000 requests to a server over HTTP and then repeat the same test with asynchronous messages. But the answer isn’t that simple. Messaging doesn’t do that.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. top(1) showed that only the Cassandra database was consuming CPU. As I'm interested in the relative comparison I can just compare the total runtimes (the "real" time) for the same result. These can be invisible to top(8).

Similarly for this guide MySQL can be swapped for a mySQL based databases such as MariaDB. As is also the case this limitation is at the database level (especially the storage engine) rather than the hardware level. As is exactly the same with PostgreSQL for system choice a 2 socket system is optimal for MySQL OLTP performance.
